Taskhold vs Linear (with Linear's MCP server)
Linear is a mature team issue tracker with a hosted MCP server, a free tier, mobile apps, and an agent platform where agents act as separate app users. If your team already plans in Linear, connecting your agents to it is the natural choice.
Taskhold is for one developer's own queue of agent work, which often doesn't belong in the team tracker.
